Hello all,

first time poster, was referred to gynaecologist 3 weeks ago as 2ww for possible ovarian cancer, due to a mass in abdomen and terrible bloating. 

I am trying hard not to be concerned but as a analyst I naturally have every scenerio and risk done in my head lol
 
had blood tests and ultrasounds and the had a follow up with consultant last Thursday after my ultrasound, my mass is a large , a fast growing ovarian cyst at the scan it was roughly 18cm :( and the edge was sitting below belly button, when I got to him 6 days later it was a couple cm’s above belly button already, 6 weeks ago was a small mass i thought was just a blockage , till it started growing bigger by day,  so i am so uncomfortable and in pain. 

Bob the blob (yes named it as figured im growing it , it needs a name lol) Bob is going to be evicted as its growing and doesnt seem like it wants to stop lol i, even amongst all this covid uncertainty, i will have surgery which i am so grateful for! Dont think i could have lasted till after it settles.

he didn't say it was or wasnt cancer, but i needed more blood tests, and a urgent ct scan of chest abdomen and pelvis , then it will go to MDT to make a decision on which team will do the surgery etc gynaecologist or Oncologist.

The more i think about it, if was a simple cyst why the ct scan? And why the whole middle body, To me they looking for spread and to stage it, as that is what my other half’s journey was with testicular cancer...i know its different cancers but generally same pattern. 

I know im overthinking, an trying not to but its there playing on my mind.

i am terrible , would like the facts regardless of how bad as that Way i can plan and prepare for, unknowns and maybe just are to many scenarios to deal with lol

anyway thanks for reading

hope everyone is safe and doing well considering everything
